Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 170 grams Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 60 milliliters Ice water
• 900 grams Fresh strawberries (hulled and halved)
• 250 grams Strawberry jelly
• 20 grams Cornstarch
• 15 milliliters Lemon juice
• 240 milliliters Heavy cream (for optional whipped cream topping)
• 30 grams Powdered sugar (for optional whipped cream topping)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for optional whipped cream topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter, and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Avoid overworking the dough.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 5

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle approximately 30 cm (12 inches) in diameter. Carefully transfer the dough to a 23 cm (9-inch) pie dish.

Step 6

Trim the excess dough, leaving about 1 cm (1/2 inch) overhang. Fold the edge under itself to create a thicker border, and crimp or decorate as desired. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent air bubbles.

Step 7

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and allow it to cool completely.

Step 8

While the crust cools, prepare the strawberry filling. Wash, hull, and halve the strawberries, setting them aside in a large bowl.

Step 9

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the strawberry jelly, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir constantly until thickened and glossy, about 3-5 minutes. Allow the glaze to cool slightly.

Step 10

Arrange the strawberries in the cooled pie crust, starting from the outer edge and working toward the center for a neat presentation.

Step 11

Pour the glaze evenly over the strawberries, ensuring they are well-coated. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.

Step 12

For the optional whipped cream topping, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form.

Step 13

Serve the Dorion Strawberry Pie chilled, topped with a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Enjoy!
